Dynamites – Ages 6 to 9 years

Renshi Hayes has developed the exciting Dynamites program for 6 to 9 year olds.

Children are dynamic and unique. The word dynamic come from the Greek word, dunamis, which means power. We want our Dynamites to empower themselves as individuals who are:

• Energetic in a happy and healthy way
• Powerful in their understanding of the potential of their bodies and their minds
• Self motivated through the discipline and commitment that comes from regular karate training
• In control when times are tough or when outside influence is strong
• Inspiring to others in their dedication to finishing what they start

Our Dynamites program has seen enormous success, and our classes are now divided into three levels; beginners, intermediate and “supermites”, where students can, (and some have already) achieve their junior black belt.

Values and beliefs are a central part of our Dynamites program. Every month we focus on our Powerful Words to discuss these values and beliefs in class.

Watch as your children develop amazing levels of mental and physical focus, strength, confidence and agility. Parents join in to hold strike shields and focus mitts, and even to role play different scenarios where our students use their blocking skills, escape technique and assertive voice to remove themselves from danger.

Hayes Renshi has a teaching background where he specialized in anti-bullying programs and boys’ programs like Rock and Water. His Bully Buster program is a feature of the Dynamites program and teaches strategies to both counter bullying physically, by using techniques such as blocking and verbally and to build resiliency in young people.

Dynamites caters for children in Kindergarten to year 3, it’s is the “middle group” of our kids programs, between Kindymites and Dragons.  We recommend twice a week training for the Dynamites age group.
